Grow Your Guarden (My First Game Jam: Winter 2023)

A survival tower defence game made for My First Game Jam: Winter 2023 Edition, where the goal of the jam was to create a game around the theme of Growth. As a result the game features the concept of growing plants as defences to defend a tree from waves of incoming enemies. A download for the game can found over on itch.io where there is also a browser version available to be played.

Development

The game was developed in C++ using SDL2, with the web port being developed using emscripten.

Building

After cloning the repository you will need to run git submodule update --init --recursive to setup submodules.

The game can then be built by running the build\win32\build.bat script with a build profile as the first argument. The following build profiles are available:

• win32 which builds the Windows version of the game.
• web which builds the Web version of the game.
• tools which builds auxiliary tools used for development.

Builds also accept an extra argument release which can be used to build the optimized release version of the game.

There are also scripts available for building a version of the game on MacOS, this version has not been properly tested or released but is available for anyone who wants to build the game locally for their Mac. Due to the code using SDL2 it should be relatively easy to also build and port the game to a variety of other platforms (e.g. Linux).
